Houston Cypress Ridge holds two of the top offensive prospects in the state of Texas in the class of 2009. While quarterback Russell Shepard has received all of the early attention, running back Hasan Lipscomb has made a case to be almost as highly regarded as his blue-chip teammate.

Despite being only a sophomore in high school, Shepard has already received two scholarship offers. Considering his role as a dual-threat quarterback, one of the offers came as a bit of a shock to Shepard.

The 6-foot-2, 185-pound Shepard has scholarship offers from Texas A&M and Texas Tech wit heavy interest from Texas. The 5-foot-10, 190-pound Lipscomb has an offer from Iowa with interests in Texas A&M, Florida and Oklahoma.
